"Since you have said so, Mr. Zhou, what else can I say?"
Yun Heng smiled bitterly.
To be honest, Yun Heng is not yet ready to accept a disciple.
Although his level has reached level nine and is about to reach level ten, his overall level is not much worse than that of some old famous Chinese medicine masters such as Yue Anyun.
But after all, the time is short, only two years. If Yun Heng wants to accept a disciple, he always feels that he is still young.
So when they came to Ningcheng, Tian Xiaoya and Lin Wenbin were joking, but Yun Heng didn't respond.
Now that Zhou Liangping has spoken, Yun Heng can't really offend Mr. Zhou, right?
At Zhou Liangping's age and status, there was really no need for him to joke with a youngster like Yun Heng. He was serious when he brought out his great-granddaughter in front of so many people.
"Haha, okay."
Zhou Liangping smiled and said, "It just so happens that today, in front of so many people, Jia Jia officially acknowledges Yun Heng as her master."
Zhou Liangping looked at his great-granddaughter and said, "Why are you still standing there? Kneel down and kowtow."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Jiajia was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Zhou Liangping is 93 years old. At that time, he had to kowtow when he became a disciple, so he asked his granddaughter to kowtow as well. Yun Heng hurriedly supported her.
"Mr. Zhou, times have changed. There's no need for such formality. Just a simple greeting will do."
"What do you mean times have changed?"
Zhou Liangping's face turned serious. "That's what I hate hearing the most. It's become a catch-all phrase for many people these days. They say times have changed and the old rules are outdated..."
"Rules are rules. Some rules are passed down for a reason."
Zhou Liangping no longer had the smile on his face and looked quite serious.
"Take the whole apprenticeship thing, the teacher thing. Why are teachers these days becoming less and less responsible, treating teaching as a mere profession? Why are students increasingly failing to respect their teachers? In my opinion, it's a lack of ritual, a discarding of certain rules."
"It's too easy to get it, so you don't know how to cherish it. There are too many students, so they don't take it seriously. If you kowtow and pay homage to your teacher, most teachers won't be so casual, and most students won't take the teacher so lightly."
"Parents and teachers are the people you should respect the most in your life. What's wrong with bowing to them? A man's knees are made of gold, but you should definitely kneel to your parents and teachers."
Yun Heng: “….”
Born in different eras, many people have different ideas. When Yun Heng became a disciple, he also knelt down and offered a cup of tea. Compared with Qu Tongwen, Ji Fengwen and Zhou Liangping, they were more casual.
But Yun Heng felt that what Zhou Liangping said made a lot of sense.
Sometimes the sense of ritual is not just a form. People’s mentality is different under that situation.
Just like joining the party, taking the oath in such a solemn environment, most people at that time would be in awe and would be infected. Even if some people eventually went astray, the original form would still linger in the deepest part of many people's memories.
It’s not that there aren’t some party members who have gone astray or who are corrupt, but in many cases, most of them are able to rush to the front, and some even remain steadfast in their beliefs throughout their lives. But the solemn ceremony also has something to do with it.
Knocking your head on the ground and becoming a disciple is definitely different from doing it casually.
"Hey, is there any tea?"
Zhou Liangping turned around and looked to the side as he spoke. Yun Heng and the others had tea cups in front of them.
"This is Doctor Yun's."
A resident doctor hurriedly added water to Yun Heng's teacup and brought it over.
Zhou Qiufan brought a chair over and asked Yun Heng to sit down.
Zhou Liangping attached great importance to this, and Zhou Qiufan did not dare to be careless.
"teacher!"
Zhou Jiajia brought the teacup, walked in front of Yun Heng, knelt on the ground, and handed the teacup to Yun Heng with both hands.
"Okay, get up."
Yun Heng reached out to take the teacup, picked it up and took a sip.
Zhou Jiajia was about to stand up when Zhou Liangping said, "Wait."
Zhou Jiajia had no choice but to continue kneeling.
"Jia Jia, this title of teacher is not just a simple one. Becoming your disciple is a very serious matter. From this moment on, Yun Heng is your teacher. Once a teacher, always a father."
"I doubt that Mr. Zhou decided on the status in advance to prevent his great-granddaughter from having any improper thoughts about Dr. Yun."
A resident at the door chuckled.
The nurse next to him turned around and gave the other person a cold look.
He is still so playful and joking about this kind of thing. It is obvious that he didn't listen to what Mr. Zhou said just now. With this mentality, he will never be able to eat four dishes in his lifetime.
"Um."
Zhou Jiajia nodded.
"Get up."
Yun Heng helped Zhou Jiajia up.
In the consultation room, a group of students looked at Zhou Jiajia with envy. Zhou Jiajia's great-grandfather was Zhou Liangping, and now he has become Yun Heng's student.
Among the students present, many want to become Yun Heng's disciples.
"Haha, okay, okay."
Zhou Liangping smiled happily again: "Xiaoyun, I'm leaving my great-granddaughter to you. Teach her well in the future."
"I will definitely put my heart into it." Yun Heng nodded.
"Grandpa Zeng, the teacher is now in Xihua, and I am still studying in Ningcheng."
After Zhou Jiajia stood up, she said to Zhou Liangping.
She is still a junior now, and it will take her another five or six years to complete her master's degree.
"You can come to Xihua during the holidays."
Yun Heng smiled.
"Well, we can go to Xihua City during the holidays."
Zhou Liangping nodded: "You are a student. From ancient times to the present, there have always been proactive students. As for when and how to study, it is up to you to fight for it."
"After I finish my undergraduate studies, I can find a way to transfer to Zhongzhou."
Zhou Qiufan said with a smile.
Transferring schools is difficult for others, but it is not difficult for their family. Moreover, Ningcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is better than Zhongzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Zhou Jiajia is a top student at Ningcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Zhongzhou will definitely not have any objections. As for Ningcheng, they still have to give face to the old man.
Xie Jiaping opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhou Qiufan in shock. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Is Zhou Jiajia’s future confirmed?
Zhou Jiajia is a top student at Ningcheng University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the great-granddaughter of Zhou Liangping. The school attaches great importance to her. How come she transferred to Zhongzhou after completing her undergraduate studies?
If you study for a master's degree in Zhongzhou, you are considered a student of Zhongzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Thinking about how he had solemnly introduced Zhou Jiajia and the other two to Yun Heng yesterday, Xie Jiaping felt like his heart was bleeding.
Yesterday he introduced it to show off. Shouldn't he showcase the talented students from his own school?
Originally, Xie Jiaping was counting on Zhou Jiajia to perform well during the exchanges over the past few days.
Now, Zhou Jiajia has become Yun Heng's student and will go to Zhongzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine for postgraduate studies in the future.
"Thank you, Dad."
Zhou Jiajia happily took Zhou Qiufan's arm and was very happy to study medicine with Yun Heng.
